You didnt know that and you are an Isaaq. Shame on you.
Jokes aside. Yemenis waa walan yihin. Anaga bey naga daaran yihin
I heard they used all of their water on irrigation for khat. That's why they're having a famine now. They're 34 levels worse than us.

I though the famine came from the war over there, but it's from khat?:williamswtf::dead:

The weed is Yemen’s most popular drug: 90% of men and over a third of women habitually chew its leaves, storing the masticated greenery in their cheek until the narcotic seeps into their bloodstream. In the past Yemenis might indulge once a week and the practice was largely confined to the north-west mountains, where qat grows. But following unification in 1990 it spread south. Now qat markets bustle all over the country.
Men spend far more feeding their addiction than their families: sometimes $800 a month. Rather than searching for weapons and other contraband, soldiers extort bribes at checkpoints to pay for their habit, jacking up transport costs. And while the country runs out of basics, such as wheat, its best farmland is devoted to producing the crop, which is more lucrative. Cultivation of qat is said to be increasing by 12% a year.
Officials refer to it as Yemen’s Viagra and encourage its use. Taher Ali al-Auqaili, the army’s chief of staff, says it is “our whisky” and claims it gives his men strength to fight. Both sides feed it to their child soldiers.
Recent data are scarce, but back in 2000 the World Bank estimated that qat accounted for 30% of Yemen’s economy. Even the hungry cite an advantage: the drug suppresses their appetite.

Ahmed madoobe wanted to ban it in kismayo, he was advised said barfre tried that ansd failed, in fact 1door say if he left them for khat he would have still been in power,

so ahmed madoobe doesnt take tax from it or allo thme to use the port or airprots, so they use speeding boats to bring them in with out being taxed, the soldiers look away after checking for weapons, but ahmed doesnt tax them as the sheikh thinks its xaraam,

insha Allah when i become jubaland president i will execute each and every man who eats qaat if he refused to give up, it is draining our economy of hard currency, hargeysa alone loses 3 million dollars a day, imagine what they can do if that was given to entrepreneurs and other investments?

i told two marehan ladies in kismayo i will ban khat, they sell it, they said wallahi we will label you alshabab and fight you, one of them threatened to call a soldier on me and call me a terorist, she called him, I told the soldier, relax I am Momamed Zubeer, , stand down soldier, he said sorry ugaas, just leave them be, they kept shotin how will we feed our kids, we will fight you, we will raise money blah blah we will kick you out,

khat waa xaraam,
